American Emerging-modern Period Reference Books Upcycling Program

Background

Libraries are releasing hundreds of historical and other reference-class books every month. The Internet has obviated their need to store large text-class editions that are not going to change. New research and interpretation compel refreshing content and perspectives available to students and scholars. Finally, some of these books are embarrassingly old and out of print.
